President Trump Tweet About H1B Visa & Sets the H1B Community of Fire

President Trump tweeted about H1B Visa today (Friday Morning). He talks of upcoming changes and a potential path to Citizenship. I’m pretyt sure, everyone related to the H1B Visa community is on fire!

Here’s what the President tweeted about the upcoming changes to H1B Visa.

H1-B holders in the United States can rest assured that changes are soon coming which will bring both simplicity and certainty to your stay, including a potential path to citizenship. We want to encourage talented and highly skilled people to pursue career options in the U.S.

In reality, changes we have seen are in the form of Executive Order and Federal Agencies have established new changes as the result of the Executive Order (Buy American, Hire American”).

For major changes to the program, Congress would have to pass the bill.

With new political dynamics in the Congress with Democrats controlling the House, we have to see how this plays out and if there’s a possibility of piece-meal or comprehensive immigration reform.

In my observation, major bills don’t get passed on the Election year. So, if there’s going to be any Immigration bills taken-up, it would be this year (2019).

Here are some interesting tweets (for & against) in response to the President H1B Visa Tweet.

Thank You @realDonaldTrump for thinking about high-skilled immigrants(Engineers,Doctors,Scientists). Please end the uncertainty, complexity & the unfair 150yr wait that 300,000 tax paying professionals & their families face while others breeze through the process in 150days! pic.twitter.com/cJLfPImaVy

There are sure a lot of people from India commenting. Did you think Trump intends on lifting the country cap or getting rid of the lottery? You're fooling yourself if you think he wouldn't get major backlash from voters.

Expand H1B Visa program to bring in 3.5 million healthy able workers into the US a year. Brutally punish foreign "Consultant Companies" like Congnizant, InfoSys, Tata CS & others for abusing the Visa Program with Bogus Credentials. Abolish all Sweat Shops. Make Immigration easy!
